Morpheus looked apon the croud, they were cheering, screaming in delight, all those happy faces, the people were free. Zion was finally free. The dark man smiled broadly, he couldn't believe that it had finally happened, Neo did it, saving all of them. He wondered for a moment how he was able to do so, did he sacrifice himself? Bribe? Fight? Where was he now? Morpheus didn't think too much on the subject when Niobe came from behind, a large smile on her already beuatiful face.

"We're free." Her voice gave away all the joy she was feeling, all the relief. If the machines won, they would all have been dead right then, but thanks to the One, they can breathe freely for the first time. They could finally take what was rightfully there's.

Morpheus chuckled at her fondly, "We have Neo to thank for that." Turning around to face the croud, they had a voice that was strong and loud, not afriad anymore, not weak. Everyone swallowed his facade, because they were so eager to hear him say it was over, so paralyzed to find that they lost. The tension in the air before that moment was so thick, that it was blinding, heartbreaking. Though at the end, the relief and joy that filled those dark caverns were so lifting, feeling like they were walking on clouds. Miles away from all their worrys, from all the pain that they lived through their entire lives.

It was a celebration, the best the people will ever celebrate, and ever will again.

"Morpheus." The dark man turned around to see a man he's never seen before. His face serious, and downright terrified for whatever reason. Morpheus couldn't help but wonder why, they had no more worrys, everything was just they way it should be, with the humans above the machines and controlling the mechanics once again. But the longer he looked at him, the more he realized that something was wrong. "Yes.."

"Sir, we have a problem." The man's voice was hushed, spoken haistly; The urgency overly obvious in his voice, the smile dropping from Morpheus's face, an eyebrow raised on his forehead, the younger male stepped closer, whispering. "Theirs something wrong with the Matrix."

Niobe watched as the two males mumbled and whispered to eachother, striking her curiousity, she hastily made her way to the men. Morpheus face went noticably pale, turning his head he whispered one last thing to the male, who nodded and went off quickly. Niobe raised a brow of her own, raising her hand to his shoulder, but he moved from her reach, flipping himself around to face her. The sudden motion frightened her, jerking her hand back she glared slightly before asking. "What's going on?"

"We need to find Neo."

Neo's entire body felt like it had been burned and chopped into tiny peices, the pain ebbed at every point in his body, he didn't want to move. Am I dead? He thought, silently hoping he was. Trinity was dead, Zion was free, and the Matrix failed, he had no reason to be alive anymore. He did what he had to do, he was finished, his usefullness had been used to it's full exstent. But somehow he still clung to life, he breathed in a choppy weak breath, the air burning his lungs, stinging his cuts and gashes across his body. He just wanted to expire already.

For whatever reason, he wouldn't. Fate wouldn't have him just yet, and death wasn't any closer than it was a moment ago. Taking in another shallow breath, he slowly opened one eye. Wire's and mechanics, electrical cercates and demented morphed cyborges were everywhere in his sights, the sky was still clouded over, air feeling warm and muskish. He slid his other eye open, staring directly in front of him, the robots flew on by like there was never a war in the first place, like there was no strife between them and the millions of humans they killed and lives they've destroyed. Neo, slowly tried to sit up, but his efforts were futile, pain shooting up his spine, he hissed before laying back down. Maybe he could just lay there and die, like he wanted to so desperately. He thought of Trinity, thought of her lovely face, all the blood. He couldn't believe she was gone, he wanted to burst into tears, wanted to scream, wanted to do something. His heart ached, brain overrun by thoughts and emotions it was overwhellming, hurtful.

"Fuck.." He whispered to himself, he couldn't do a damn thing, but sit there, wait for himself to expire, for help, for anything. He just had to wait, it wasn't fair, it was sick; A little way for life to say 'Thanks for the help.'

Neo had probably been waiting for hours, lost in his thoughts, time flying by like bullets. Until he heard the low hum of a motor, letting his deep eyes lift themselves up to find the location of the forgien noise. He saw the head of a ship, they were searching for him. He wanted to feel overjoyed that they sent someone to go after him, but only felt emptier, how was he going to tell them about what happened to the love of his life? How was he..

A soft beeping sound evaded his ears, they don't see him. Neo almost didn't do anything about it, but when reality smacked him in the face, he knew he couldn't let himself die there, he had things he had to say, things he had to do. There was just so much at risk, so much he couldn't just leave behind. Trinity would have wanted him to go on, to live his life, with or without her. Swollowing, his throat dry, feeling torn. "Hey.." he yelled out, his voice sounded hoarse and weaker than he would have preffered, but that wasn't going to stop him. "HEY!" It took a lot of his energy to get as loud as he did, regretting it almost instantly when that striking ache stabbed his body once again.

The ship was getting ready to pass him, he wasn't going to die like this. He sighed heavily before screaming as loud as he could possibly muster. That did the trick, he could see the large vessle come to a slow halt. The agonizing pain, grew worse when they tried to bring him on board, biting his lower lip until the skin broke, the deep crimson running down his pale face, to keep himself from shouting out in discomfort.

Once on board, the first person he saw was Morpheus, his face deathly serious, as he and several others he'd never met took him to the medical center on the craft, tending quickly to all the severe injuries, his friend throwing questions to the wind, Neo not really catching a word of what he was saying or trying to say, it flew past his head, his mind on far more important things.

It felt like days, that he sat in that room, with the constant nurse or doctor fixing him up and cleaning the wounds, But in all honesty it had only been meer hours. Which would have been the most painful and tormenting hours he'd have ever been through. Bandaged and stictched back in one peice, he was then allowed to sit up, it wasn't nearly as harmful as it was the very first time, though it did still have that sting to it. Looking up at his friend, he smiled.

Morpheus didn't say anything for a long time, both of them sitting in complete and utter silence. Neo felt like he should start.

"Morpheus.." He began, his voice more energized, less strained. Morpheus trained his eyes softly on Neo's face, letting him continue. "Is Zion okay? Did we do it?" He asked, hope filling his very being. The sullen, slightly angered expression Morpheus was wearing unnerved the pale male, he didn't want to know if he failed, he didn't want Morpheus to point an accusing finger at him for what he couldn't accomplish. But instead of blame, he got a soft smile, "No, You did good Neo, you did good. I always believed in you. Zion has been saved because of you."

Neo felt relief wash over him, the paranoia died down as suddenly as it came. "Where's Trinity? Did you see where she landed?" Morpheus asked, making Neo tense at the mention of her name. Not answering, his silence was answer enough, "Oh.. Oh god.." Morpheus frowned, "T-..That's terrible, I'm sorry." He wasn't taking it terribly, but he wasn't taking it well either. There was a thick silence in the air after that, Both of them fighting back sadness, both of them trying to be strong about the situation, for her. After a long moment, Morpheus made an audible sigh, which sounded shooked and forsed, before he stood up and patted Neo's back tenderly, like a Father would his Son after he'd given him important advice. His eyes distant, holding a weary edge in his movements, he was getting too old for this.

"Neo.." He said softly, looking down on the younger male. "There is something you need to see."

Neo didn't argue, standing up caused slight discomfort. But he was healing quite fast, it wasn't much an issue, Morpheus offered his hand but was softly regected by the brunette, who pushed himself away from the dark man. Morpheus nodded, taking the lead down to the main deck. Ushering the injured male inside, Neo saw as crew members murmered amongst themselves, muttering things that Neo didn't quite pick up. They all turned to see them enter, the first person to step up was a man Neo knew as Xiod. "Sir, you have to see this."

"See what?" Neo asked, stepping closer. Xoid moved out of the way, and lead the One to the screens, pointing an index finger to a code on the top left-hand monotor. "What is it?" Neo questioned, furrowing his eyebrows at the screen, he still wasn't seeing anything. Just the code, that's all he saw, he didn't stare at it long enough throughout the day to see what over half the people on the ship did. Xoid got the hint, "It's a malfuntion." He answered, his eyes scanning the codes. "Someone's tampering with what they shouldn't in there."

"What?" Neo raised a brow, looking down at the male. He shrugged, "I don't know sir." He replied. "I've never seen anything like this before." He began typing away at the keys, looking for whatever he could find on the defective codes. "We've been trying to find out what they were," Xoid began, scratching the back of his head before continuing his search. "It's like something is trying to push something out."

"Is that possible?" Neo brushed his fingers through his hair, "I don't think so." The younger male responded. "But I've seen stranger things."

Morpheus grabbed Neo by the arm, pulling him away from a second. "Yeah?" Neo looked up at him. Morpheus looked at the screen momentarily before turning his attention back at the Brunette. "The Oracle.." He began, looking down at his feet. "She told me something like this was going to happen."

"What else did she say?" Neo half demanded, "Are we going to be over run again, are we.."

"One second Neo, let me explain." Morpheus, didn't have as much time as he wished. "She said that something will be regected in the systems, they will try to spit something out into the real world."

"How is that even possible?" That didn't seem right, nothing can come out of the Matrix, it's impossible. "What's coming out, did she say?"

"No, she didn't go into specifics." He glanced back up at the brunette, "But it has a great deal to do with you."

"How so?" Neo kept his voice calm, feeling anxious, he didn't want his friend to know that. "Like I said, she didn't go into specifics," He released Neo's arms, letting his own drop to his sides. "All I know is that some computer program get's pushed out of the Matrix, I'm guessing an object or a Person. How ever an object's mass, that was vertually created has been proven to have the capacity to survive in the real world. As if it were an object in the first place."

"How did it get pulled out?"

"The systems didn't want it anymore, some of the things in this room had been taken from the Matrix from disposible things they couldn't hold anymore. Like deleting it." Morpheus folded his arms behind his back. "We don't know how they showed up, we don't know how they recreated themsevles in a world that isn't a computer program, it's a mystery to us all. All we know is that it usually happens when something has become a problem for the world."

"Like, if thing's were to go missing in the Matrix.."

"It would appear in the real world." Morpheus finished, letting Neo sink in all this new information. "Have you ever wondered where half your socks went to? Or where the TV remote dissapeared to, but you could never find it?" Neo thought for a moment, before nodding. "That was because of the Matrix?"

"Indeed." Morpheus confirmed. Neo was quiet for a moment, before a question formed. "Has a human, ever came out of the Matrix?"

"I'm going to guess you don't mean being un-plugged, am I correct?" Neo nodded, Morpheus thought for a moment. "No, It's never happened."

"Hey! Sir! Somethings wrong!" It wasn't Xiod's voice, but another crew members. He didn't know who she was but didn't ask, both of them turning around to face the few of the members. All of them hovering the screens, Xoid's fingers typing furiously and quickly, looking like he was trying to prevent something. "Oh no.." Neo wasn't sure who said that, but it sure as hell didn't sound good. "It's coming through,"

Before Neo could ask what, a loud beeping sound and electrical shocks flooded to one of the nearby seats that connected thier minds to the Matrix. It made a violent snapping and popping sound, as a strong electrical current zipped through it. Wires flew out of the seat, as quickly as they showed, they began spinning themselves unrealistically around the tip where the head would be, more electric cackles and snaps as the wire moved around themselves tying tightly at the top before circling around eachother, making a shape like a head, before moving to the what looked like a neck. Working faster, intertwining until a body of wires strung against each other. It formed the shape of a male.

Neo and the other's stared dumbstruck, not certain as to what to do as the wires moved coherently with one another, until they began retracting. The wires moved away, Neo was the first to see flesh underneath all the wireing. Soon, everyone was looking at the pale skin that was appearing as the wires moved away, soon a leg was shown, the next foot and leg following. To the thighs, and upper body, the arms and hands were soon after, until the last of the cords were slowly removed, slivering like a snake, as the few wires finally disappeared, showing the face of the perpetrator. Neo felt his heart stop, and face lose all it's color, the feeling of fear and disbelief crawled up his back, leaving goosebumps in its wake.

"Thats not possible." Neo forced out, fear biting off at the edge of his words.

"What's not possible, Mr. Anderson?"
